I think you need to jump up a class of cleaners. Goo Gone Pro Power works pretty good. It's noticibly better than the regular stuff. You could also use this, but as others said, spot check.
Orange oil cleaner or isopropyl alcohol usually will take off stuff like this.

Try to go easy on the cleaning chemicals when possible. Simple green should work fine on most of the exterior. Magic erasers can be good for stubborn or stained control panels, side art or general trouble spots, but be warned they do tend to take some of the paint off especially on old art. Novus 2 is a fantastic polisher for just about anything plastic, can work on rusted metal too if you want to tumble some parts. Goo gone (NOT goof off!) is great for removing old adhesives if you need to replace a CP or side art and take off some old glue underneath. Any glass cleaner is fine for the monitor (CRT!) screens, use simple green or a light cleaner on the plexiglass bezels or around art on the underside of a glass marquee. If you have some stained or smelly particle board inside your cabinet, white vinegar and a scrubbing brush can take out some of the smell and discoloration.
Those are the main tools I use, I'm sure each collector has their own set of favorites.
Goo Gone is your friend.
